Hi, * Changed iOS deployment target to iOS 15.0 as minimum, since that is Xcode's minimum. That is iPhone 6S and newer. * Improved script search to allow scripts to collapse. * Changed script search results to show commented lines better. * Changed script search results to number the search results and allow you to click them to mark where you are in the list. * Enabled Dialog.ClearFields, Dialog.AddField, Dialog.GetFieldText and Dialog.SetFieldText functions for Windows since we got an alternative dialog with edit fields, which does most of our dialog functions. * Added Files.ApplicationPathWithBundleIdentifier function. * Improved variable check to ignore Set Variable lines with $index = $index + 1. * Updated DynaPDF to version 5.0.0.2.

[ANN] DynaPDF 5 Introduction
by support＠monkeybreadsoftware.de 20 Feb '26

20 Feb '26

DynaForms released DynaPDF 5.0, their newest version of the DynaPDF library. Price changes With the new release DynaForms changes the prices. The new prices for Lite, Pro and Enterprise licenses are lower. This makes the entry more affordable. Starter costs more and is now half of the Lite price. Maintenance updates are now 15% of the product prices. Special offer For the introduction of version 5, we offer a 15% special discount until March 15, 2026! Use coupon code DynaPDF5 in our web shop. Especially you can use the coupon to upgrade the license to a higher tier: Starter → Lite → Pro → Enterprise Platforms DynaPDF 5 comes pre-built for these platforms: Windows x86, x64, ARM64 (pre-compiled) macOS x64, ARM64 (Universal Binary, pre-compiled) Linux x86, x64, ARM, ARM64 (pre-compiled) Android ARM, ARM64 (pre-compiled) iOS ARM, ARM64 (requires DynaPDF Enterprise) Other AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, WebAssembly Programming Languages DynaPDF can be used with C/C++, C#, Delphi, Lazarus, PHP, Visual Basic, VBA, and VB .Net. MBS adds support for FileMaker and Xojo. Please note that you must purchase a license from Monkeybread Software, if you plan to use the plugin with Xojo or FileMaker. The licenses purchased from DynaForms directly do not work with our plugins. Downloads For your convenience we also provide libraries with your MBS Plugin download as well as files here: https://www.monkeybreadsoftware.com/filemaker/files/DynaPDF/ This includes a framework for iOS for the FileMaker iOS SDK. Changes Everyone upgrading from older version 3 or 4, please be aware of these backwards incompatible changes: * The property SetUseTransparency() is set to false by default now. This property enables color key masking for images with no alpha channel. It caused often unwanted side effects because users didn't expect that color key masking was enabled by default. * The flag gfUseImageColorSpace is now set by default (see SetGStateFlags() for further information). In prior versions images were converted to the current color space by default. This handling was not optimal due to possible loss of fidelity and image quality. The original color space should be preserved if possible. * The single page import is now available with the Lite license. Previously you required to have a Pro license. We updated the documentation of the plugin for the ImportPDFPage, ImportPage, and ImportPageEx functions.
